Note:
While we do not prohibit users from uploading IP-related models to the platform, we cannot actively promote such content by selecting it as a contest winner. We made efforts to screen out IP-related entries during the review process, but given the vast number of existing IPs, it is possible that some were not identified. We appreciate the community’s understanding and will continue improving our review process for future contests.
Thank you once again to all participants for your dedication and creativity. We look forward to seeing even more amazing work in the next contest!
